Introduction to Fundamental Astronomy
"Introduction to Fundamental Astronomy" takes readers on an enlightening journey through the celestial realms, exploring the principles and achievements that have shaped our understanding of the cosmos. We navigate the historical milestones of astronomy, from ancient astronomers like Copernicus and Kepler to modern discoveries in exoplanet research, gravitational wave astronomy, and cosmology. Readers will explore the Copernican Revolution, Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation, and the cosmic microwave background radiation that reveals the universe’s infancy. We delve into stellar evolution, the quest for extraterrestrial life, and the profound mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. With engaging narratives, vivid illustrations, and accessible explanations, "Introduction to Fundamental Astronomy" invites readers on a captivating odyssey through the wonders of the cosmos. We make complex astronomical concepts accessible to enthusiasts, students, and anyone curious about the vastness and beauty of the universe.

Dear Friends, It seems like it was only yesterday that we drove the last of you to the airport. The memories and the spirit of the Scientific Detectors for Astronomy Workshop (SDW2002) remain fresh and strong. For us, this was a very special event, a great gathering of what may be one of the friendliest and most cooperative technical communities on our little planet. We have tried to capture the spirit of the Workshop in these Proceedings and we hope you are able to relive your week in Hawaii. For those readers who did not attend, we invite you into this community. As you probably noticed, there is a new name on the cover: Jenna Beletic was the ace up our sleeve for these Proceedings. As a summer intern at Keck, she took up the task of organizing, proofreading, editing and formatting the papers. She also made the graphics (her artistic talents shine on pages xxxiii and xxxv), contacted authors and prepared the mountain of paperwork which goes with producing a book. Jenna’s enthusiasm at learning, her passion for the job and creativity (e. g. find 100 ways to get Paola and Jim to do their jobs) have been a motivating addition to our team of “old workshop foxes”...... and a source for a good deal of paternal pride. We are honoured to have her as a fellow editor.
